Yep, it’s been a while.  So what.

A huge proportion of college athletes are “learning disabled.” Apparently being smart but illiterate is enough to produce a positive on some tests.
Best photos of the year.  China certainly does mass precision very well.  (One in the first set and one in the second.)
Did you know someone could [...]

Finally, after the craziest offseason (probably) ever in UK basketball history, the regular season debuts tonight on ESPNU against Morehead State (from Morehead, KY).
It was an offseason that started with a loss to Notre Dame in the NIT (what?) and included Gillispie fired, Calipari hired, Patterson coming back, Jodie leaving, Bledsoe signing, Cousins signing, Wall [...]

John Wall eligible? I’m not out to jump up and down on David here, but I suspect this is part of the Calipari package, and it casts an odd light on the many hand-jobs that Coach Cal’s been getting in the national media.  He’s a great basketball coach, and put together one of the greatest [...]

Does UK read Cankles Manface?

Either that, or I’m a hype-up sports montage genuis.
Back in May, when John Wall decided he was coming to Lexington, I wrote this piece that alluded to UK’s swagger returning.
Friday night at Big Blue Madness, the player intro video used the same song (even the same remix) as my post. Coincidence, or Cankled influence? You [...]
